Scores for today have been reset, as I have implemented an entirely new cheat-resistant system.

Give it a shot!

Not that it will remain there but it is fun to see my name near the top of my category.

It was fun, even if I didn't really understand some of the questions.

And as my final trick, all cumulative scores will be reset tonight at midnight, to put everyone again on a level playing field. Hopefully this will be the first and only reset we'll see.

Maybe it was just bad luck but in my 20 questions tonight there were three about WWF (or whatever it's called now) which seemed a rather high percentage.

I must have done the same one. My speed improved, simply because when I saw 'WWF' I clicked a random choice and moved on without reading the whole question - my chances of being right were just as good either way!
Still, it's great fun and maybe tomorrow there'll be more from one of my better subjects!

Yep, I got that one too - WWF (whatever that is?) seemed to come up an awful lot ...it was classified "Entertainment"

I had a FTmix one that was no easier, for me anyway! Only got 11 correct ... Jazz is in my division today and got 17. Eekkk! The divisions do change everyday, right? Jazz and I aren't always going to be in the same one are we

lol, cellar is beating jazz in that division!

And yes, divisions are randomly re-assigned each and every day, so you will always be playing against different people.

I know I may get slammed for saying this but... Could you PLEASE just do a mixture of categories? I really don't know much about celebrities so I had to guess on everything. And I can only imagine what will happen if my category of the day is Sports. I really just wanted something that was a mixture - like maybe one question from each major category.

I think that the one I played was FunTrivia Mix, but there were at least two wrestling questions in it. I like the idea of a specific category (or even subcats, as jazz has mentioned). Surely it would even out over time, and each of us would have our days to shine? I dread the day when Music turns up - after about 1967 I haven't a clue! But it would still be fun to try.

Right now I have it set to create mixes 60% of the time, and a specific top level category 40% of the time.

But if it will even out when we each have our day to shine, wouldn't it make more sense just to have each quiz be a mixture?

Terry - sounds fine, as long as I always get a mixture!

I like the topic of the day because it adds a little uncertainty. It lets some people shine on some days, and others on other days. Honestly I'd probably get close to 0 on a celebrities quiz. But there are lots of people who actually care about celebrities (Im not entirely sure why...) so we might as well let them be #1 for a day

I really like the new daily quizzes (particularly as I'm number one in my division at the moment ). The categories are a great idea. Will it sometimes be a sub-category? It might be a big challenge if it's on WWF, but the languages or art sections would be great.

I got ahold of French words. It improved my time to just pick anything, because I had no clue what any of it said

Now that it rolled over past midnight, I took the next one and want to brag before anyone else plays and knocks me out of First place for my division (I am the only one who has played in my division, but hey, it is still first place ) and I am number 3 overall out of the 7 people who have played today's Daily.

I agree with you Terry...let different people 'shine' with their specialties. Of course this means that on occasion (like tonight) I'll be forced to confront quizzes on movies or television (gak!)...but so be it.

Had to take the movie quiz tonight...yuck-a-rama!

On the quiz I got two of the same question but the answers were different.
